Boy, have we a nice looking piece of weather forecast for this Sunday morning! Single “layer” temperatures running 60′s and into the 70′s, partly cloudy with a breeze out of the WNW. Watanic always does  a nice shoot and if will be great warm up for next weekends Championship at Andover. See you all on Sunday.

Don’t forget your wives and Mothers!

With Fishing in full swing and NH Turkey’s in season for the month, it is certainly good to see our shoots are being well attended. Thank you to Essex and Chester for putting the Welcome mat out to GSB. Human nature too often makes it easy to us complain and overlooked when we need to compliment. On that note, I speak for many shooters when I see that the weekly scores are up to date and the clubs have made an effort to either improve the course layouts or tweak them so they don’t go stale. This takes the effort of volunteers and should not go unnoticed. Take a minute next time you are at a shoot and let them know we are thankful for what they do.

As the weekend approaches (along with the risk of damp weather), I’d like to remind all Granite State Bowhunter Members that the Saturday event at Andover Sportsman’s Club is NOT a GSB scoring meet. GSB only scores the Sunday, April 22nd shoot towards our Shooter of the Year awards and ONLY if the shooter has registered their scorecard as a GSB entry. Those that wish to participate in both the IBO Qualifier and the GSB SOY point system will need to shoot both days. Good luck to all and Thank You in advance to Anover for hosting another GSB Shoot.

We’re really seeing some signs of spring as nearly “normal” weather encourages everyone to get up and get outside. Some of our host clubs have announcements listed in the forums for those looking to break the routines of weekend hibernation. Essex has a game dinner and Westford has a fishing derby. Please visit the Associate Club Announcements pages in our forums for more information.
Please, if your Club has news or events that are coming up, post the announcement or pass it along to me and I’ll put it up for you

All Shooters! Stateline Field & Stream has taken the open date of April 8th for the GSB shoot. Please update your calendars and enjoy this Easter Sunday shoot.

Thank you Stateline!

Scores are up, looks like the turnout was pretty good and some of the numbers posted reflect it must have been a nice day for a walk in Newton. Too bad I wasn’t able to be there myself. As it looks right now, we have a beautiful piece of weather coming in for the weekend and there shouldn’t be any complaints about having to (over) dress in layers for Sunday. Let’s fill the parking lot and have a great day with the guys from Lamprey River.

Remember, groups of 3 to 6 are required and smaller groups must have Club Officials sign cards if you wish to compete in the scoring categories.

There will be a meeting of all member clubs and GSB representatives this Thursday, starting at 7:30 P.M on March 15th, at the Raymond Sportsman’s Club. This will be the second of our four annual meetings.

Remember to set your clocks ahead or you might be arriving to the shoot on Sunday an hour later than you intend.

Thank you, Lone Pine Hunters Club. You had a great course and anyone who missed the shoot, well… let’s just say we wish you were there.
We don’t get to visit Lone Pine again until August, so I guess the best thing I can say is “See you at the meeting on March 15th“, only then can I wish you a great summer!
